Designlab's Diversify Design Scholarship Application

The goal of Designlab’s Diversify Design program is to build equity across diverse and inclusive representation in the design industry. We aim to do so by providing design education and professional support to aspiring designers from groups underrepresented in the design industry. Please note that the Diversify Design program is intended to serve folks from historically disadvantaged or underrepresented communities. BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), women, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and members of other historically disadvantaged groups are strongly encouraged to apply. In order to apply for a UX Academy scholarship, please ensure that you have contacted the Admissions team to indicate your interest and motivation for pursuing the UX Academy program. If you would like to connect with Admissions in order to learn more about UX Academy and apply for a scholarship, you can email us at admissions@trydesignlab.com or schedule a time to speak with us.
